out a month's worth of checkins to libstdtypes.tex (including my
extended slice docs).
I think this checkin merges them all back in, but if you make one of
these checkins:
revision 1.97
date: 2002/06/14 00:27:13; author: nnorwitz
Use \code{True} (or False) instead of true/false.
Not sure if code is correct, but that is what's in this file.
I've seen \constant{True} in other places.
----------------------------
revision 1.95
date: 2002/05/22 20:39:43; author: bwarsaw
Jack's documentation for the U mode character on the file()
constructor, vetted by Barry.
----------------------------
revision 1.94
date: 2002/05/21 18:19:15; author: rhettinger
Patch 543387. Document deprecation of complex %, //,and divmod().
----------------------------
revision 1.93
date: 2002/05/15 15:45:25; author: rhettinger
Added missing index entries for mapping methods. Closes patch
#548693.
some checking may be in order.
checking them in? Oh well, this fixes various obvious mistakes and
changes a subsubsubsection (which doesn't exist) into a subsubsection
(which does). I'm not sure this matches the intent, but it seems to
read OK on a quick skim.
Eliminate extra blank line in shell output. Caused by stdout not being
flushed
upon completion of subprocess' Executive.runcode() when user code ends by
outputting an unterminated line, e.g. print "test",
- Implement the behavior as specified in PEP 277, meaning os.listdir()
will only return unicode strings if it is _called_ with a unicode
argument.
- And then return only unicode, don't attempt to convert to ASCII.
- Don't switch on Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, but simply use the
default encoding if Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding is NULL. This means
os.listdir() can now raise UnicodeDecodeError if the default encoding
can't represent the directory entry. (This seems better than silcencing
the error and fall back to a byte string.)
- Attempted to decribe the above in Doc/lib/libos.tex.
- Reworded the Misc/NEWS items to reflect the current situation.
This checkin also fixes bug #696261, which was due to os.listdir() not
using Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, like all file system calls are
supposed to.
introduced when shifting around some code, and added some redundancy
to reduce chances of hitting the wrong source code. (This is
experimental - it will improve the accuracy, but will reduce the
ability of the user to deliberately select the buffer they want the
buffer grubbing stuff to find. I think the accuracy improvement will
be worth it, but am not sure, so may remove this.)
[ 555817 ] Flawed fcntl.ioctl implementation.
with my patch that allows for an array to be mutated when passed
as the buffer argument to ioctl() (details complicated by
backwards compatibility considerations -- read the docs!).
the reported path. (Eg, precompiled scripts with a file path suitable
for a different host, scripts actually running on a remote system or
with no valid path, like Zope through-the-web python scripts.)
On failing to find the code on the reported path, pdbtrack takes the
function name and looks through the buffers, from most to least
recent, seeking the first python-mode buffer that either is named for
the function or has a definition (def or class) for that function. So
to get source tracking for code that's not located where the path
indicates, you put a copy of the script in a buffer, and pdbtrack will
find it.
Also, fixed a small bug so pdbtrack now properly presents the overlay
arrow when you run the pdb 'w'here command.
constructor, when passed a single complex argument, returns the
argument unchanged. This should be done only for the complex base
class; a complex subclass should of course cast the value to the
subclass in this case.
The fix also revealed a segfault in complex_getnewargs(): the argument
for the Py_BuildValue() format code "D" is the *address* of a
Py_complex struct, not the value. (This corroborated by the API
documentation.)
I expect this needs to be backported to 2.2.3.
assertRaises. Fixed a repeated subtle bug in the inplace tests by
removing the possibilty that a self.fail() call could raise a
TypeError that the test catches by mistake.
Allow mixed-type __eq__ and __ne__ for Set objects. This is messier than
I'd like because Set *also* implements __cmp__. I know of one glitch now:
cmp(s, t) returns 0 now when s and t are both Sets and s == t, despite
that Set.__cmp__ unconditionally raises TypeError (and by intent). The
rub is that __eq__ gets tried first, and the x.__eq__(y) True result
convinces Python that cmp(x, y) is 0 without even calling Set.__cmp__.
